except that Isaac looks likely to pass south of Jamaica which would make PR out of the picture.

He's scared shitless - looks like he doesn't know about the other system heading for the Western GOM

It's going to give Trump a shot to look "presidential"

If he succeeds, his approval likely goes up and the Democratic advantage in the generic ballot goes down.

If he bombs, his approval plummets and the Dem advantage in generic ballot goes up.

I hope the disaster relief goes well, but my fear is that the only reason it's going to go well isn't because they actually care, but because they KNOW they have to do an A+ job with midterms around the corner and can't afford a public relations disaster.

Hazel was a massive NC hurricane in 1954 and nothing so far suggests this will be bigger. It may be- we don't know but he's already preparing the excuse for 'biggest' ever.

Isaac is not en route to Puerto Rico- NOAA shows it passing South of Jamaica by Monday

He apparently hasn't been informed that the system in the Northern Caribbean heading for the Western GOM may be Jorce in another day or two.

Fox? Do you expect something else from them?

The "MSM", whatever that means to you, aren't. They're gritting their teeth, and respecting the traditional role of journalism as much as is possible: "Objectivity". They can't go into a tizzy over every transparent lie, because that's all he does.

CNN at this point is openly disdainful.

The NYT is basically in an open war with Trump.

So who shrugged? MSNBC? CNBC? The WSJ? The Wa Post? The LA Times?

I've never seen them give minute-by-minute fact-checking of Trump's bullshit. Have you? I don't know that it's possible to keep up.

I'm trying to imagine what it would take to crush his heart, but he's so unfeeling that I can't think of anything that would strike the final blow.

How do people get this way? For one who claims to be so anti-crime, anti-terrorist, against all wrong, he himself has no bottom to his selfishness, narcissism, and depravity.

territory right there but the repugs just keep ignoring and focusing on getting another lying winger on the Supreme Court.

Hope they all get dragged down in Muellers report.

Also, their electric grid had problems but was not "completely DEAD" "completely gone", before the hurricane, as he claimed.
